Purpose: Studies of effective methods for the easy removal of denture adhesives from a denture base are not well represented in the literature. We previously assessed the removability of denture adhesives by immersing within denture cleaners, showing that some cleaners have a weak effect, insufficiently effective in daily use. In this study, we prepared a cellulase, as a potential component for denture adhesive removers, and we examined whether the addition of cellulase to denture cleaners is effective in the removal of cream denture adhesives.
Methods: We prepared the cellulase Meicelase as one component for the liquefaction of denture adhesives. We used two denture cleaners and two cream adhesives. After the immersion of plates in sample solutions, we evaluated the area of the sample plate still covered with adhesives. Biofilm removal assay was also performed using denture cleaners containing cellulase.
Results: The addition of cellulase accelerated the removal of cream adhesives in immersion experiments to a rate faster than that of water and denture cleaners. However, it did not influence the removability of Candida albicans biofilms from acrylic resin specimens.
Conclusion: Cellulase hastened the liquefaction of cream adhesives.

Among individuals who wear removable dentures, there is a significant likelihood, reaching up to 70 %, of experiencing a condition known as denture-induced stomatitis. To address this issue, a commonly used method involves soaking dentures in denture cleansers to eliminate microorganisms. However, the prolonged use of this cleaning method has resulted in the emergence of drug resistance.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of denture cleansers on the various properties of CAD/CAM and heat-polymerized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Materials And Methods: Two different brands of heat-polymerized and two of milled PMMA were fabricated (n = 50), in total 200. Each group was randomly divided into five subgroups (n = 10): control groups (D1) kept in distilled water, cleaning tablets (D2, D3), neutral (D4) and acidic electrolyzed acid water (EAW) (D5).

Article Synopsis
- This research examines how different attachment systems and cleaning methods affect microbial growth on implant-supported overdentures, which are important for patients with tooth loss.
- The study involved testing various denture materials and cleaning techniques, revealing that deeper attachment systems lead to more microbial adhesion and complicate cleaning.
- Combining ultrasonic cleaning with chemical cleaners was found to be the most effective approach for reducing both biofilm and viable bacteria on the dentures, suggesting better cleaning strategies are necessary for maintaining oral hygiene.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two denture cleaning methods: one using ultrasonic cleaning and immersion in a denture cleanser versus a traditional approach of immersion followed by brushing.
- - Conducted as a controlled clinical trial with 56 elderly participants over 3 months, findings showed that both methods improved cleanliness and satisfaction, but the ultrasonic method was significantly better for cleanliness and patient happiness.
- - While the improved cleaning method did enhance denture hygiene and user satisfaction, it did not show a significant difference in reducing denture stomatitis compared to the standard cleaning approach.

Objectives: Evaluate the efficacy of denture cleaners on the adhesion of Candida albicans and their effects on the surface, optical, and mechanical properties of resins for conventional, milled, and 3D-printed denture bases.
Materials And Methods: A total of 240 resin samples were made, 120 for testing Candida albicans adhesion, optical stabilities (ΔE), roughness (Ra), hydrophilicity (°), surface free energy (Owens-Wendt) and 120 samples for testing Candida albicans adhesion, surface microhardness (Knoop), flexural strength and modulus of elasticity in a three-point test, in which they were divided into 3 groups of denture resin (n = 40) and subdivided into 5 cleaners of dentures (n = 8). Data were evaluated by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for multiple comparisons (α = 0.
